Focus on the technology
Feb 20th
As everybody knows, you need to take care of all technical desicions before designing or anything. So i’ve decided to use maven2 and eclipse for the project. (see my last post)
Maven2:
I use maven at work, and I kinda got used to it. My expirence so far has been way more positive than my humble ant attemps during my bachlor thesis. Thats a good reason, right?
Eclipse:
I never used anything else than eclipse, so that was an easy choice. And I’m most certainly going to use Checkstyle and Findbugs and probably the eclipse-jutils project. I know that there exists “EE” plugins for eclipse too, so I might get som help there too.
Yay. More decicions done!
Toying around

I got all these ideas in my head of things I would like to try. This is my wishlist/todo/nicetohave list:
- Try out the possibilites of Amazon Web Services, including EC2, S3, SQS and SimpleDB if possible
- Whats the hype about?
- What kind of effort does it take to make it scale
- It should be as intelligent as possible. Ip’s, roles,dynamic scaling up/down, failover?
- Theres so many interesting software “things” that I would love to fiddle with
- Scala on a appserver together with maybe groovy and java stuff
- Glassfish
- Websphere/DB2
- Mule ESB or what about Open ESB
- OSGi things
That should be able to keep me busy for a while
